The Advent - Eighth

Let's go

Born and raised in Mexico, Ricardo Garduno, is no stranger to the global Techno underworld. Besides running his successful Techno imprint, Illegal Alien Records, he’s had numerous successful productions on some of the most reputable Techno labels around the world. Now he appears on Drowne Records for the second time with his 'Textures EP'. Beside two wicked originals, the dutch phenomenon Keith Carnal put hands on the title track, and created a mesmerizing piece of techno!

Taking off with a cavernous bassdrum, crisp stakkato-hats and a clear offbeat definition, 'Textures' gains weight constantly, while an apocalyptic grumble and twisted synth patterns sneak upon the scene. A warm melody takes control and breaks up the fog of darkness, while electrifying synth textures reinforce the threatening undertone. Propelling percussions underline the tracks forward-orientation and squeaky bleeps take a back seat as a constant whereas 'Textures' mutates steadily!

'Mind Mover' emerges with a distorted kickdrum and a decent offbeat-suggestion while a rumbling bassline points out another stomper! Transforming metallic percussions arise out of the dust and hypnotic synths create a simple mood which leaves space to work with. Claps make tension at the right time and impelling hihats reinforce 'Mind Mover's seething character!

Keith Carnal boils it down with his massive rework of 'Textures' and transports out the originals essence perfectly! Taking off with tom-emphasised bassdrums, high-frequency claves and well structured background echoes, marvellous hihats concrete the driving groove very soon. Multiple synth-constructs dig themselves out of the swirling background and raise the energy constantly! A broad range of dub-delays offers a lot of organic quality and the menacing atmosphere leaves you drowned in places where time doesn’t matter!

In conclusion the 'Textures EP' comes along as a dark and driving package, and represents Drowne Records love for pure underground music. I reaches from conceptual, forward orientated techno to highly hypnotic vibes, and illustrates how intense techno can be!

Ricardo Garduno - Textures (Keith Carnal Remix)

Crónica de un Viaje continues its emotional exploration through 13 chapters that narrate a personal experience from within.

Chapter 11, “El Otro Yo,” reflects that quiet struggle we all carry inside. It’s the moment in the journey where doubt appears, where fear of mistakes and the feeling of not being enough take shape. It’s not a battle against the world, but against oneself.

The track is built with a more cerebral and tense approach. The rhythmic patterns and layered sound design act like an inner dialogue, revealing the friction between moving forward and holding back. It’s a piece that invites introspection, even when it feels uncomfortable.

Symmetric & Future Of Matter - Reject The False Icons [Artaphine Premiere]

Returning after a six-month break, Truesoul delivers a pair of uplifting cuts from Bart Skils, marking his debut on Drumcode’s little brother imprint.

One of Drumcode most consistent contributors, Bart Skils also knows his way around a melodic lead better than most. With this is in mind, it’s difficult to believe this is the first sighting we’ve had of the Dutchman’s productions on Truesoul.

‘My Rules’ was created during lockdown with the specific intent to brighten the lives of the techno faithful. Both compositions were inspired by the type of tracks Skils would typically use to build his sets during longer sessions, when tension-and-release dynamics are deployed with aplomb. The title track comprises a wiggly bassline running alongside a skilfully arranged vocal hook, while tiny flashes of melody amplify the atmosphere. ‘Cruising Waves’ is marked by a hypnotic groove and a meditative vocal loop before a ball-tearing industrial synth-line rips through the bottom end at regular intervals throughout the second half of the piece.
